Great Britain, a Crusade in Reverse

Sadly, it seems that way.

It is more than likely that old Enoch Powell was right. The apparently mad MP, ex-brigadier and egg-head looked and sounded like an Old Testament prophet but in his middle-age he foresaw ‘rivers of blood’ running in Britain as a result of unlimited immigration – especially from Pakistan – in the Sixties and Seventies of the last century. He was boycotted by all liberals and ‘free-thinkers’ as a racist xenophobe, and spent his last years writing impassioned letters to the Times that caused much merriment, especially among senior members of both Conservative and Labour administrations. They guffawed, ‘old Enoch is at it again!’

Seventy-two hours before Thursday 10 August, a message was intercepted from the headquarters of a radical Islamist terror group in Pakistan. The message was simple; it ordered an immediate attack on Britain and the United States, on a scale that would have made even the Twin Towers horror look mild.
